Congratulations!

Congratulations on the purchase of your CornuFé stove. We know that you are looking forward

to cooking many wonderful meals on your stove and would like to oer you a little guidance to

ensure each one is a success.

Selecting a new stove for your kitchen is an exciting process and once it is installed there

is much anticipation about cooking on it. There is always a period of familiarization when

you begin cooking on a new stove and unfortunately sometimes there are disappointments.

However, any disappointments can be quickly overcome if you take a little time to learn

about the tools you are cooking with and, the CornuFé offers an amazing array of them.

It is important to keep in mind that recipe-cooking instructions are by necessity very

generic. Common instructions such as: “heat the pan over moderate heat” and “pre-heat the

oven to 350˚ degrees,” provide little guidance when you have a stove that offers a variety of

burner strengths and a choice of Convection and Standard oven cooking modes.

The oven modes and various BTU strengths of the CornuFé are designed to help you

achieve success with all your cooking. Once you get in tune with them you will be thrilled at

how much easier your cooking will be.

We hope you will nd these Product Education and Cooking Tips to be helpful, and if you

have further questions please contact us as follows:

Ovens

Whether cooking a quick meal for two or a large feast, the CornuFé ovens offer great versatility. The

Convection mode that is available in both ovens can be used to cook multiple racks of food at one

time and the additional Modes in the Multi-Function oven can be used for a variety of other types of

cooking, including baking and broiling.

Convection & Conventional Heat –

Understanding the Difference

Convection Heat – both ovens

Convection ovens have a heating element in the rear of the oven and a fan that circulates the heated

air. Overall, cooking with Convection provides superior results and can make meal preparation easier.

Some benets of cooking with Convection include:



Moisture retention



Shorter cooking time for large cuts of meat



No turning or basting required when cooking meats



The ability to bake or cook on multiple racks at one time with no turning or changing pan positions



The ability to cook an entire meal at one time with no transference of avor



Cleaner ovens because the juices stay in the food.

Conventional Heat – Multi-Function oven only

In this mode, heat is generated by the heating element below the oven oor and a broil element in

the top of the oven. Neither the rear element nor the fan are utilized in this mode. The option to cook

with Conventional heat adds to the versatility of cooking choices the CornuFé provides.

Choosing the correct rack position is very important when cooking in the Conventional mode because

where the food is placed in relation to the heating element can drastically affect the cooking results.

When specic rack positions are referred to for cooking, count from the bottom rack position 1 to the top

rack position 5.

Understanding the Modes & How to Use Them

Convection – Available in Both Ovens

Choose any rack position when cooking in this mode.

Tips for Baking in Convection



Always reduce recipe temperatures by 25 degrees when baking in Convection. If baked items are

dark on the edge and light in the center this is a clear indication that the temperature was too high.



Cookies, mufns, cakes and appetizers can be baked on multiple racks in Convection but to ensure

even results use the same type of pans on all racks.

Temperature too high – uneven results

Tips for Roasting in Convection



Small cuts of meat, poultry, sh and vegetables that cook in 30 – 45 minutes or less can be cooked

directly on a rimmed baking sheet.



Roasts 3lbs and over should be cooked on a rack in a shallow pan.



When meats that take an hour or more to cook are placed directly on a pan, the heat of the pan

leeches the moisture out of the meat and the Convection fan can splatter the juices around the oven.

Cooking meats on a rack maintains all the juices in the meat and keeps the oven cleaner.



The cooking time for large roasts, 7lbs and over is signicantly reduced when cooking in

Convection. Generally a 20lb un-stuffed turkey will cook in 2 hours in Convection. Refer to the

roasting chart in the Cooking Tips section for specic information on timing.

Additional Oven Modes – Multi-Function Oven

Ovens are used for a variety of cooking, including baking, roasting, broiling and braising; the CornuFé

ovens provide a variety of cooking modes designed to give the best results for each type of cooking.

Convection Broiling

Broiling with Convection ensures fabulous searing, reduces the drying effect of direct heat and

minimizes the amount of splattering in the oven.



Broiling temperatures range from 425º for Low Broil to 475º for High Broil.



Use rack position 4 when broiling on a rimmed baking sheet and rack position 3 when broiling on a

broil pan to avoid having the meat too close to the heating element.



The door must be closed when broiling.



Fish, shrimp, skinless chicken pieces, and vegetables suitable for broiling should be tossed with a

little oil and broiled on the oven tray or a baking sheet.



Marbled cuts of meat are best broiled on a traditional 2-part broil pan so that the dripping fat is

shielded from the direct heat of the broiler.

Use rack position 4 when broiling on a rimmed baking sheet Use rack position 3 when broiling on a 2-part broil pan

Multi-Rack Cooking in Convection

One of the greatest advantages of cooking in Convection is the ability to cook two to three racks of

food at one time. You can create wonderful meals using this method and the best part is you don’t have

to stand over the stove to do the cooking. Refer to the Recipe section for tips and recipes to learn how

to cook complete meals using Convection.

Fan Assisted Oven

This is the most powerful mode in the oven that combines Convection heat from the lower and top

heating elements with heated air circulated by the Convection fan. Use rack position 2 or 3 when

cooking in this mode. This mode is ideal for:



Searing large roasts at 400° degrees for the rst 15 minutes of cooking, change the mode to

Convection for the remainder of the cooking time to avoid overcooking.



Casseroles – heavy dense casseroles cook thoroughly and evenly when heat is directed from the top

and bottom with the added benet of convection



Single Rack Baking – pies, quiche, breads and pizza. The heat from the bottom element helps create

perfect crusts when baking. Use rack position 2 and be sure to reduce the recipe temperature by 25°

degrees when baking in this mode



Roasting Vegetables – use rack position 1 or 2 for crispy roasted potatoes.

Prime Rib & Scalloped Potatoes

Conventional Oven

For recipes you prefer to bake in regular Bake use this mode, no temperature reduction is necessary

when baking in this mode, however it is advisable to check baked items for doneness at least 5-8

minutes prior to the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking. These ovens are small but very

powerful.



Baking - popovers, soufés, cheesecake and Angel food cake, pies, pizza and breads.



Use rack position 1 when baking in the Conventional Bake mode, baking in the center of the oven

will cause foods to brown too quickly without being properly cooked through in the center.



Braising – braised dishes and stews that require long slow cooking in a covered casserole.

Oven thermometers do not always give an accurate reading of internal oven temperatures because they

are usually hung in a different place to the oven temperature sensor. A good test to ensure the oven

is baking at the correct temperature is to take a package Corn Bread mix and bake as per the package

directions but check for doneness at least 5 minutes prior to the end of the cooking time because it is

sure to be done to perfection by then.

Use rack position 1 for Conventional Baking

Baking a package Corn Bread mix provides a good indicator

of the even heat and consistent oven temperature

Bottom Heat

This is a wonderful mode that is ideal to perfectly nish baked items such as quick breads, pies and

dense cakes. Begin baking in the Conventional Mode and change to this mode for the nal 10-12

minutes of baking. This ensures the food will cook through without over browning the edges.

Browning Element

There are times when a touch of browning is all that is needed to “nish” a particular dish. If the heat

is too intense the dish can be quickly ruined so the option for gentle browning provides an additional

valuable tool. Use rack position 3 or 4 in this mode.

Defrost Mode

In this mode the ambient air in the oven is circulated by the Convection fan, which will evenly dissolve

ice crystals. Use this mode only to defrost small items such as frozen appetizers, desserts or small cuts of

poultry or sh.

To avoid cooking the food in any way do not use this mode if the adjacent oven is in use. When

defrosting, place items on a rack in a shallow pan to capture any moisture and keep the oven door closed.

Oven Racks

Each oven is equipped with a black enamel pan with a tted rack, a at baking rack and a drop-down

rack to accommodate deep casserole dishes.

The black oven trays can be used for roasting or broiling, vegetables, sh and chicken breasts or with

the rack for roasting larger cuts of meat.

Cookie sheets, mufn and casserole dishes can be placed on the at and drop down oven racks.

Half sheet pans measuring 18”x13”x1” can be inserted directly into the oven tray slides.

Gold Touch ½ sheet pans from Williams Sonoma t directly into the tray slides.

Bottom Drawers

The bottom drawers are for storing oven trays and racks and when the ovens are in use the contents will

get warm. Do not store ammable materials in the drawer such as oven mitts, cookbooks and towels.

Cleaning the Ovens

The moisture retention experienced when cooking in Convection has the added benet of keeping

the ovens much cleaner. The lining panels of the range, however, can be removed and washed in the

dishwasher.

The right hand convection oven has a removable oven roof and side panels; slide the roof panel out rst

then remove the side panels. Each side of the oven is xed with four xing screws that hold the side

panels in place. These do not have to be removed to remove the oven linings. Lift the panel upwards and

it will slide off the screws, pull forward to remove. Once the linings are removed the oven interior can be

cleaned with warm soapy water and Dawn Power Dissolver to remove any built-up grease.

e Cooktop

The large capacity cooktop features ve solid brass gas burners equipped with a thermocouple safety

mechanism and cast iron grates:

Center Burner – 17,500 BTU’s – 1,750 BTU simmer rate.

Large Burners (3) – 12,000 BTU’s – 1,200 BTU simmer rate.

Small Burner (1) – 6,000 BTU’s – 600 BTU simmer rate.

The two crucial elements for successful stovetop cooking are Power and Control. For best results

when cooking with the CornuFé follow these recommendations.



Use good quality pans that conduct heat well.



Choose the appropriate burner for the size pan you are cooking with.



Heat pans over moderate heat, add the oil when the pan is hot and increase the temperature when

you are ready to add the food. This will give you more control over the cooking process and will

minimize splattering.



Turn the overhead ventilation on to low speed before you begin cooking, this will establish the

airow and aid in effective capture of steam and grease.



Clean the stainless steel surface with non-abrasive cleansers such as Bar Keepers Friend or

Kleen King. To remove built-up caramelization around the burners use Dawn Power Dissolver,

a concentrated soap usually found at hardware stores.

Albertine Cooking Tips

The Albertine range provides all the amazing cooking tools for which La Cornue ranges are renowned,

powerful burners with great control for simmering and a large oven that features both Convection and non-

Convection modes. Baking, roasting and broiling are very different types of oven cooking and the multiple

oven modes featured in the Albertine ensure that you will achieve success with every type of cooking.

The Albertine oven easily accommodates a variety of different baking trays and pans but it’s always

a good idea to stage the oven while it is cold to make sure you have the rack positions in the correct

place, especially if you are planning to cook multiple dishes. For a complete explanation of the oven

modes and the difference between Convection and Non - Convection cooking, refer to the Product

Education section of the CornuFé Product Education Tips. Some specic tips for cooking with the

Albertine include:

Roasting

When planning the timing of a meal remember to plan for the resting and carving time for meats and

add the vegetables and side dishes so they will be ready when the meat is ready to serve. With a roast

turkey for example we usually allow at least 40 minutes for resting, carving and gravy making and

during that time several side dishes can be cooked at the same time and will be piping hot and ready

to serve when the turkey is carved.

Place roasts on rack position 2 or 3 and vegetables or casserole dishes on rack position 1. When roasting

in Convection best results are always achieved when meats are placed on a rack in a shallow pan to

ensure even heat distribution.

Baking

The Convection mode is ideal for baking several racks of cookies, cakes, mufns or appetizers. For

best results use uniform baking trays and reduce recipe temperatures by 25 degrees.

When baking in the traditional radiant heat mode, use rack position 2 or 3 and if cooking one

item place it in the center of the oven, the large capacity oven rack and tray can of course easily

accommodate several items at one time.

Broiling

Broiling with Convection helps retain moisture in the food but also minimizes splattering in the oven.

The dual broiling elements are a great tool to use for cooking an entire meal at one time. Marbled cuts

of meat can be broiled on a broil pan on one side while vegetables, sh or chicken can be broiled on a

rimmed baking sheet on the other side. When broiling one item, center it under one of the broilers.

Cooking Tips and Recipes

Roasting in the CornuFé Ovens

Either oven can be used for roasting in Convection. However when cooking large cuts of meat that will

benet from high heat searing, use the Multi-Function oven and begin cooking in the Fan Assist Mode

for the rst 15 minutes, then change the mode to Convection for the remainder of the cooking time.

Since there are several different types of roasting methods, follow these guidelines to avoid confusion.

2 Step Roasting – Step 1: High Heat Searing 400°, Step 2: Moderate Cooking 350° degrees.

This method is suitable for roasting whole chickens, turkey, leg of lamb, prime rib and larger beef and pork

roasts. Exposing the meat to high temperatures for a brief period of time sears the meat, bursting open the

avor molecules while the moderate cooking temperatures ensure even cooking. Use the Fan Assisted

Mode for the 1st step and change the mode to Convection for the remainder of the cooking time.

High Temperature Roasting – 400°- 425°. This method is ideally suited to cooking small cuts of meat

such as beef tenderloin roasts and rack of lamb that are best cooked quickly with fairly high heat. Use the

Convection, Fan Assist or Conventional Mode.

Moderate Temperature Roasting – 350°. This method is suitable for chicken and turkey breasts, pork

tenderloin, sh and vegetables. Use the Convection mode to ensure moisture retention.

Low Temperature Roasting – 325° to 300°. This method is suitable for braising short ribs, brisket, pot

roast and pork shoulder. Most often these meats are rst seared over high heat on the cooktop then

cooked in a heavy casserole with a tight tting lid. Use the Fan Assist or Conventional Mode.

Follow this timing chart for a guideline on roasting times and check the internal temperature with an

instant read thermometer. It is important to rest meats for 15-20 minutes prior to carving during which

time the internal temperature will rise by another 10° degrees. Be sure to plan the rest of your oven

cooking so that all the side dishes will be ready when the meat is carved and ready to serve.

Thanksgiving Feast

Meal Preparation Tips

Preparing an entire feast in one day is overwhelming, so do as much preparation the day before as you

can. If you are baking any pies or desserts they are best done earlier in the day or the day before and

with two Convection ovens you can get a lot of baking done at one time.

To maximize the oven capacity, begin by roasting the turkey in the multi-function oven, allow

approximately 2 hours to cook a 20lb turkey and 40 minutes for the resting, carving and gravy making

process, you can even cook a turkey in both ovens at the same time. Once the turkey is cooked you can

cook several side dishes at one time in the Convection oven and use the Multi-Function oven to cook

the biscuits and everything will be ready at the same time.

The major difference when cooking a turkey in Convection is that we don’t use a deep roasting pan.

Because the turkey is roasted on a rack in a shallow pan the juices stay in the turkey so making gravy

will be a bit tricky the rst time but it’s not difcult, just different. To see a step-by-step video see the

Thanksgiving video at www.purcellmurray.com/larissascorner

e Day Before anksgiving



Remove the turkey from the wrapping, remove the giblets from both cavities wash the bird inside

and out with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.



Season the turkey as per the recipe, place on a shallow pan and cover with plastic wrap and return to

the refrigerator. This is an important step and you will be amazed at the difference in avor.



Make the giblet stock that will be the base for the gravy, as per the recipe.



Prep the vegetables for the vegetable medley and for any other side dishes you plan to serve.



Make the cranberry sauce.



Prepare the stufng, cool, cover and refrigerate.

anksgiving Day – Timing the Feast



Cooking time – a 15-20lb un-stuffed turkey will take approximately 2 hours to cook in Convection as

per our recipe.



Resting time – allow at least 20 minutes for the turkey to rest before carving.



Carving time – allow at least 10-15 minutes for carving the turkey.



During the 40 minutes of resting and carving time –

1. Cook the roasted vegetable medley, stufng and any other oven side dishes.

2. Make the gravy.

Herb Rubbed Roast Turkey

1 – 15-20lb turkey giblets removed, washed in cold water inside and out and dried with paper towels

2 – tablespoons Old Bay seasoning

1 – teaspoon dried or minced fresh thyme

1 – teaspoon kosher salt

– teaspoon ground black pepper

1 – tablespoon olive oil

1 – medium yellow onion halved

4 – fresh sage leaves coarsely chopped

Carefully separate the skin from the breast using the tip of a sharp knife.

Combine the Old Bay, thyme, salt and pepper with the oil in a small bowl and wearing disposable

gloves rub the seasoning into the esh under the skin of the turkey and smear the remainder over the

skin. Place the onion and sage leaves in the large cavity. Seasoning the turkey the day before cooking

noticeably improves the avor.

Pre-heat the Multi-Function oven to 400° in the Fan Assist Mode.

Place the turkey on a rack in a shallow pan, leaving the legs to swing free. Because turkeys cook faster

in Convection this ensures that the heat can properly penetrate the coldest and thickest part between

the thigh and the body.

Slide the turkey into the oven on rack position 2 and cook for 20 minutes then change the mode to

Convection and reduce the temperature to 350° for the remainder of the cooking time.

Check the internal temperature to ensure it has reached 170° in the thickest part of the breast and

the thigh. Make sure the leg moves freely and the juices of the thigh run clear when pierced. Remove

the turkey from the oven and place on the counter to rest. During the resting time the internal

temperature will rise to 180°.

Roast Harvest Vegetable Medley

A roast vegetable medley, which combines several fabulous fall vegetables makes a colorful avorful

accompaniment to roasted turkey and is much easier to prepare than several individual vegetable dishes.

– 2 lb butternut squash, peeled & cubed

2 – sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed

1lb – Brussels sprouts, trimmed, blanched & quartered

6 – shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

– medium yellow onion, peeled & chopped

– cloves garlic coarsely chopped

– leaves fresh sage, sliced into thin strips

– teaspoon dried oregano

Olive oil, salt & pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients and toss with enough oil so they are evenly coated. Spread the vegetables

onto a rimmed baking sheet and cook for 35-40 minutes in Convection 350°, until crisp tender.

Crouton Stung with Apples, Onions and Lemon Zest

1 – medium yellow onion, diced

2 – cloves garlic, minced

3 – granny smith apples, cored and cut into 1" cubes

1 – lemon zest, minced

Handful fresh parsley leaves, washed dried and chopped

3 – cups croutons

2 – cups chicken stock

This is a avorful, light stufng and very refreshing with the lemon zest.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil and when hot

sauté the onion. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes taking care not to burn. Add the apples and

sauté for 5-6 minutes or until they begin to soften. Stir in the lemon zest, parsley, croutons and chicken

stock and taste to check the seasoning. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof casserole and bake for 40

minutes, Convection 350°.

The croutons called for in this recipe are not difcult to make. Take 1 loaf of rustic or sourdough bread,

remove the crust and cut the bread into 1" cubes. Toss the cubes with a generous amount of melted

butter and some olive oil and seasoning. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake Convection

375° for 15-20 minutes until the croutons are crisp.

Roasted Green Beans with Walnuts

1 – lb French green beans

1 – shallot thinly sliced

2 – cloves garlic, sliced

– cup fresh walnuts, coarsely chopped

1 – tablespoon olive oil

Toss the vegetables and walnuts in the olive oil and spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Cook for

12–15 minutes, Convection 350° until the nuts are lightly toasted and the beans are tender.

Giblet Gravy with Bourbon

Giblet Stock

1 – medium onion

1 – bay leaf

– teaspoon herbs de provence

– packet turkey giblets

Roux

4 – tablespoons unsalted butter

4 – level tablespoons all-purpose our

6 – cups combined giblet stock/turkey juices

– cup Jack Daniels (or more to taste)

Rinse the turkey giblets and neck and discard the liver. Place all the ingredients for the giblet stock

into a medium saucepan and cover with water, about 4 cups. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for 40

minutes, skim the foam that settles on the top. The liquid will reduce to about 2 cups of concentrated

stock. Strain and discard the giblets, onions etc. The giblet stock can be prepared in advance then used

as the base for the gravy.
